ing that the railroads could not live
under the reduction OF rates called
for; that competition with other systems
of transportation would be inaugurated
fatal to the railroads; that there would
be a practical suspension OF railroad
traffic, and that general arrangement
and disturbance of business would result.
The Commission found on investigation
that the petitions OF the Southern rail-
ways were well founded, and day be-
fore yesterday the temporary sus-
pension prayed for OF the
operation of the long and short haul
clause of the Interstate Commerce law
was granted. This action of the Com
mission has had an immediate effect, and
is looked upon in general railway circles
as an acknowledgment of fatal weak
ness. Last evenings dispatches brought
an unmistakable expression OF this feel-
ing from New York City, the great rail-
way heart of the country. The ex-
pressions of opinion by prominent
railway officials are fettered with
no reservations whatever. The granting
of temporary suspension of the opera
ton OF the long and short haul clause to
tbs Southern railways by the Commis-
sion, is freely spoken of as indication of
an early and complete failure OF the
Interstate law. Said one leading rail-
way official: '"This is the entering wedge.
The long and short haul is the vital point
of the law. There is not a railroad of
any consequence in tho country that will
not make some such claim as that
contended for by the southern railways,
and the justice of these demands must
be respected" In other words the
southern railways are only the first in
the field. They have led the way.
From now on the commission is to be
deluged with these railway pro-
tests. Temporary suspension of the
long and short haul clause, the
vital point of the law, will
be demanded on all sides. The action
of the Commission apparently justifes
these demands. Temporary suspen-
sion" will be indefinitely prolonged, and
will soon be practically equivalent to
permanent repudiation. The cumber-
some and RECONSTRUCTED machinery of
the Interstate law will break by its own
weight and friction, and the law will in
all probability be dead letter before its
inevitable repeal.

THE BARREN HONOR.

1t is now beyond doubt that Johr
Sherman is the most formidable com
petitor in the field for the next Republi
can Presidential nomination. AS TIL
DEMOCRAT said the other day, the con
test is practically between Sherman and
Blaine. AS we also remarked. Blaine's
chances are on the wane. Sher-
mans consummate wire pulling is
frightening his prospects daily.
Yesterdays dispatches sent over the
country the news of a crushing Sherman
broadside. This was nothing less than
the detection of the New York Tribune.
That influential Republican paper has
transferred its allegiance from Blaine to
Sherman. While this transfer is un-
doubted, it was made in a curious man.
ner, and aptly illustrates the peculiar
| methods OF the astute and secretive Ohio
Senator. The first intimation of the
matter came from the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Post
The correspondent telegraphed his paper
that Whitelaw Reid of the Tribune had
written to Murat Halstead of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, Sherman's per-
sonal organ, that the Tribune would sup
port Sherman for the Presidential nomi-
nation. This dispatch at once created a
furore in Republican circles. Halstead
published a card in his paper,
denying that Reid had written him
any such letter. Reid himself was
seen, and had nothing to say.
except that he had not written to Hal
stead. The investigation of the matter
was pushed, and the result was yester-
days associated dispatch stating that
the only error in the dispatch Of the Post
correspondent was in using Hal8tead's
name. The letter was written by Reid,
but it was addressed to Deacon Richard
Smith, Halstead's partner in the propri-
etorship of the Commercial Gazette. In all
of this the cunning hand OF John Sherman
is sufficiently evident The editor of the
Commercial Gazette has been given an
opportunity of denying over his own sig
nature, in his own paper, that the editor
OF the Tribune wrote him letter pledg-
ing the Tribune to Sherman. At the
same time it has been fully brought to
the notice of the public that such letter
was written. 1t is made to appear that |
the action of the Tribune editor was |
spontaneous; that there was no collu-
sion between him and the editor of John
Sherman's personal organ. To sum up
the result, the Tribune is irrevocably
to the Sherman cause, Blaine
IS helpless in the matter, and John Sher-
man is innocent of underhand dealing.
In the meantime the Democracy looks
IN with an amused smile at these Re-
publican party strivings. This Demo
,ratic smile deepens to laugh with the
that the Ohio Senator will be

THE ENTERING WEDGE.

A day or Two ago there appeared in
the editorial columns of THE DEMO
Graf an article in which the
opinion was expressed that the
the Interstate Commerce law was in
congruous in construction, and impossible
OF application, and the prediction was
ventured that all classes would be found
ready to unite in wiping it from the
statute books at the first opportunity.
Confirmation of the impracticability of
the law has come even sooner than we
expected. On the first day the Inter
State Commerce Commission met, peti-
tions from Southern railroad companies
were brought to its attention. These
petitions prayed for temporary suspen-
sion of the operation of the long and short
haul clause of the Interstate law, alleg-

The new extradition treaty with Rus
sia, signed in Washington, marks an
advance in international comfy, mas
much as it excludes from the category of
political crimes tho assassination or
attempt to take the life of State officials.
1t is stipulated that, if extradition is
sought with view to try or punish the
person demanded for an otfense of a
political character, the surrender shall
not take place, nor shall any person sur
rendered be tried or punished for anv
political ofense committed previous to
his extradition; but murder or man

magistrate OF State or any member of
his family, as well as an attempt to
or participate in the said crimes,

EX-SENATOR THURMAN OF Ohio and ex-
Governor Robinson of Massachusetts are
men highly honored by their respective
parties. Both of them called on the
President the other day and had long in
terviews with him, and were subse-
quently asked what they thought about
Mr.. Cleveland. "He is an honest, able
man." said the Ohio Democrat "The
President is strong, honest man." said
the Massachusetts, Republican; "he
means to do just right every time" It
is evident to anybody who studies the
drift of public opinion that this is the i'm
preston which Mr.. Cleveland is making
upon all candid men.

THE evictions upon the Irish estates of
Lord Landsdowne are having an immense
effect throughout Ireland Some time
ago Lord Landsdowne's tenants applied
for reduction in rents. But no atten-
tion was paid to this appeal from the
tenants, who forthwith refused to pay
rents at all. Since Mr. Balfour's acces-
sion to the chief secretaryship, Lord
Landsdowne's agent has taken fresh
courage, and is now, backed by all the
authority OF Dublin Castle, proceeding to
evict the refractory tenants. Lord Lands
downe is the Governor General of Can
ada, and probably is little concerned
with what happens in Ireland.

THE Church organ objects to the "com-
mon practice of newspapers of the
present day of presenting to the public
alleged portraits of distinguished or no.
torious persons" The Church organ
then refers to the portrait of Polygamist
Cannon, recently published by a con-
temporary. We agree with the Church
organ that Polygamist Cannon is "no-
torious" person, and also that the por-
trait referred to is rough" We would
suggest to the Church organ, however,
that the contemporary publishing the
portrait may have been more unfor-
tunate than blame-worthy. We would
remind the Church organ that every
thing connected with Polygamist Cannon
is decidedly "rough," and also that the
portrait referred to might have been
taken just after Mr.. Cannon returned
from one Of his underground trips, when
he naturally would have been even
"rougher" than usual.

doctor lied about the President when he
said that he was liable any moment to
break down from overwork, and Dan
ought to know as long as it's his business

clerk of this Administration from cabinet
to buttery, and it isn't worth while for
any man to guess at anything Daniel
doesn't know.
